The concept of denture frame, both the vertical and horizontal relationship of the dentitions are ultimately related to a skeletal configuration, leads to postulate that the vertical overbite will be determined by the jaw rotations and anteroposterior jaw relationship. Also, ODI is analyzed to be composed of the determinant factors of overbite such as FMA PPA and FABA. From the geometric analyses of an interrelationship between the ODT and the overbite determinants, the following formula can be induced. ODI norm=$85^{\circ} - 0.5 PMA-(1.08 - 0.01 FMA)(FABA - 81^{\circ})$. This formula indicates that the norm of ODI is not constant value but variable one according to the individual skeletal frames. Through the application of the formula to the various clinical cases, it is proved that the new concept, relativity of the ODI norm, is very diagnostically useful.

Since 1984, many patients have been treated with Multiloop Edgewise Archwire (MEAW) Technique and diagnosed with ODI (Overbite Depth Indicator) and APDI (Anteroposterior Dysplasia Indicator) by the authors. 234 samples of them were selected randomly for the statistical analysis (age, sex, Angle's classification, treatment period, extraction, ODI etc.). Especially, ODI was analysed statistically and its application methods were reviewed. The results and conclusions were as follows: 1. On the 150 patients with normal overbite, the mean values of Class I, II, III malocclusion were $67.5^{\circ}$, $72.2^{\circ}$ and $59.0^{\circ}$. They were significantly different on the level of p < 0.01. 2. In normal overbite samples, ODI decreased with the increase of APDI and the correlation coefficient was -0.54. It seems that this result reflects the characteristics of AB to mandibular plane angle. 3. The regression equation was Y = - 0.57X + 114.64, where X is APDI and Y is ODI. In cases of small or large APDI, it seems to be absurd that the patient's ODI is compared with the mean ODI to differentiate diagnostically the open bite or deep bite tendency from the normal.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the distribution and differences of the cephalometric measurements between normal occlusion and the class III malocclusion. Kim's analysis was achieved and compared on both the 141 elementary school students with proper profile and normal occlusion and the class III malocclusion group at the age of 7 to 9, in Gwang-ju area and the results were as follows; 1. The ODI, APDI, IIA, UL showed statistically significant differences between normal occlusion and class III malocclusion(p<0.01). But, no significant difference existed in both CF and EI. 2. The mean value of ODI was 72.62, APDI 80.47 IIA 121.37 in normal occlusion. 3. The mean value of ODI was 64.45, APDI 87.31 IIA 129.89 in class III malocclusion. 4. ODI decreased as APDI increased, and the correlation coefficient was -0.576 in both normal occlusion and class III malocclusion. 5. The correlation coefficient related to EI was CF 0.777, LL -0.670, UL -0.588, IIA 0.485. It means that UL and LL were very sensitively reflected on EI.

The purpose of this study was to analyze the growth changes of ODI and APDI with age on the three facial growth patterns. The biennial serial cephalometric radiographs of 19 male and 14 famale samples with normal occlusion during 10 years were used in this study. The samples were divided into three groups - drop type, neutral type, forward type - by the total change of the Y-axis during the periods of the study. The findings in this investigation indicated the following: 1. The mean values and standard deviations of each age group in each facial type of male and famale were obtained. 2. The difference of ODI and APDI among the 3 facial types was not significant through all observed ages(P)0.05). The size of ODI appeared large consistently in order of the drop, neutral, and forward type in both male and female through all observed ages. 3. The ODI and APDI were maintained without any charges with age during the periods of the study(p>0.05). 4. In correlation analysis between the total change of the Y-axis and 6 measurements, the AB plane angle and facial angle showed correlation in both male and female(p<0.05), the APDl in only female(p<0.001), but the ODI not appeared correlation in either male or female(p>0.05).

Objective: To investigate the dentoskeletal factors which may predict soft-tissue chin strain during lip closure. Methods: The pretreatment frontal and lateral facial photographs and lateral cephalograms of 209 women (aged 18-30 years) with Angle's Class I or II malocclusion were examined. The subjects were categorized by three examiners into the no-strain and strain groups according to the soft-tissue chin tension or deformation during lip closure. Relationships of the cephalometric measurements with the group classification were analyzed by logistic regression analysis, and a classification and regression tree (CART) model was used to define the predictive variables for the group classification. Results: The lower the value of the overbite depth indicator (ODI) and the higher the values of upper incisor to Nasion-Pogonion (U1-NPog, mm), overjet, and upper incisor to upper lip (U1-upper lip, mm), the more likely was the subject to be classified into the strain group. The CART showed that U1-NPog was the most prominent predictor of soft-tissue chin strain (cut-off value of 14.2 mm), followed by overjet. Conclusions: To minimize strain of the soft-tissue chin, orthodontic treatment should be oriented toward increasing the ODI value while decreasing the U1-NPog, overjet, and U1 upper lip values.
